Well, I also have a dog. Though it is very lazy, and implolite I love it. Because we can communicate with each other. But, my dog may not think in that way. It may hates me. If the truth is like this, am I bothering it?
I think many people only play with their pets. For example, some people cut dog's tail becuase they think that looks better. It's terrible!
Pets have their own right to be themselves. They are not people's toys. Love them, but respect their right!
What do you think about it?
